COMBINED EFFECTS OF BOUNTY AND OF MONOPOLY. Table showing the ex-duty price of West India Sugar in Mincing. lane, and comparing the same against the price of foreign sugars : London, Nov. 23, 183.9. The Gazette this day quotes the average price of British Per cwt. Plantation Muscovado Sugar, exclusive of duty, at 3ls. 31d, Muscovado Sugars raised by free labour in the Manilla have been sold this week at from I 9s. to 225. 6d. per cwt., being about 9s. 4d. per cwt. less than the average price of West India Sugar. The bounty on refined Sugar having been reduced to 355. Sd. per cwt., no sales for exportation have been effected this week in that article. This reduction still leaves a clear bounty—allowing Is. for the duty on the poisonous dirt contained in the Mus_ covado or moist Sugar—and which is extracted from it by the process of refining of 1 Os.

The same has been sold this day in London, free of duty, at 30s. 6d. per cwt., being an excess of price paid by the British consumer of 21s. 6d. per cwt., in other word s 21s. 6d. per cwt. on Treacle contributed b y the p o or man t ow ards west India B ount y , and not, as it is erroneously supposed, t owar d s revenue.

The duty on St. Domingo Coffee, the average price of it being 425. per cwt., is 140 s. per cwt., or about 300 per cent. act valorem.

In the course of the investigation it was stated that the Society numbers about 900,000 members. Among the metropolitan members it was said were four of the City night patrol, one of whom came forward at the request of the Magistrate, and mentioned that he had never been better in his life than since he joined the Society in January lest.

PRICE sd. THE BILL-SYSTEM.-CAPTURE OF TWO NOTORIOUS CHARACTERS. Two fashionably -attired fellows, named Charles Rickaby and William Prescott, were brought up on Thursday be fore Mr. MrrisnuLt., at Bow-street, charged on suspicion with having stolen a blank acceptance, on which was a stamp valued 65., the property of a gentleman, whose name (lid not transpire. The prisoners were sent from Marlborough -street, as the Magistrate there was given to understand that a warrant had already been granted at this office against the prisoner Prescot for a similar offence. Mr. MiNsHum. inquired if any person was in attend ance who could prefer any charge ? Mr. Webb, chemist and druggist, No. 72, Quadrant, Regent-street, being sworn, said, that on Monday last a gentleman drove up to his door in a cabriolet, and there being a coronet upon the panel, be considered he was a nobleman, who informed him that a warrant had been granted for the apprehension of Prescot on a charge of having st o l en a bl an k acceptance f rom hi m, and that he was advertised, at the same time requesting that he Would use his exertions to have him taken into custody. Having met with him in May-fair, he called a policeman, and, after he was given into custody upon the charge, he handed a parcel of papers, produced, to the prisoner Rickaby, in whose company he was, who instantly rolled them up, and put them into his hat. Mr. MiNsmaL directed both the prisoners to be searched, which, it appeared, the constable omitted to do, after he had them conveyed to the station-house. Mr Burnaby informed the Magistrate that a gentleman was present who had applied for advice and assistance against a person who had robbed him of a blank accept ance,.-and there was every probability he could identify either of the prisoners as as being the party. An elderly gentleman named Craig immediately came forward, and said, that having occasion to raise a sum of money he was directed to the prisoner Rickaby, but who represented himself to be Thomas Austin, and, after giving him a blank acceptance, he absconded with it. The policeman, on his return from the lock-up-room, where he retired with the prisoners to search them, pro , duced a gold watch and several blank acceptances, by which it appeared they were engaged in the same speculation. The prisoner Prescot defended himself by saying that the complainant had been promised .50/. for apprehending him, and that he bought the stamps with his own property. Mr. Webb assured his worship that he came forward, as he considered it a public duty, and he entertained no vin dictive feeling towards either of the prisoners. Mr. MiNsituLL said he had made inquiry since the case was brought before him respecting the warrant which had been granted agzinst Prescot, and he was informed that such had been the case about twelve months backs ; and as it then had been disposed of, it could no longer be in force. The prisoners should therefore be conveyed back to Marlborough-street, and after the Magistrates of that office had determined upon the case, they should again be brought before him, as they appeared to have acted in concert in obtaining the blank acceptance from Mr. Craig, in order to have that charge preferred against them. MORE OF THE BILL SWINDLING SYSTEM. Yesterday James Jigging was brought from the Queen's Bench prison to Bow-street, on a writ of habeas corpus, in order to answer a charge of uttering two forged accept ances for 30/. each, knowing the same to be forged, for the purpose of defrauding Mr. S. Solomon, fruiterer, Covent garden Market. Mr. Phillips, the barrister, appeared for Mr. Solomon, and Mr. Lloyd, solicitor, attended on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Phillips stated that his client, Mr. Solomon, had been for a considerable number of years a fruiterer in Covent-garden Market, and had become acquainted with the prisoner when he was chief waiter and steward at the Garrick Club. He presented to Mr. Solomon two bills of exchange, drawn by himself upon a company carrying on business in 59, Great Queen-street. The bills purported to be accepted by Messrs. Farebrotber and Company, whom the prisoner described as highly respectable, and men tioned that he had obtained the acceptances on the security of some property left to him and his brothers, which was mortgaged. By these representations the pro secutor had been induced to advance to the prisoner up wards of 59/, for the bills, which were stated to be forged when they were presented for payment. In the course of this investigation he would probably have to expose one of the many schemes resorted to in this metropolis by which a person under the name of a firm can take in the unwary. Every inquiry had been made, but it could not be ascertained that a person of the name of Farebrother had anything to do with the business carried on at No. 59, Great Queen-street. The only partner he believed was a Mr. Fellingham, whom he would call as a witness for the Crown ; but what he would state it was impossible to say. as he bad refused to have any communication with the so licitor for the prosecution, and had even said that he would not be sworn to-day. The bills were dated October 27, 1837, and one was payable two months, and the other three months after to Mr. Jiggins or order. Neither of them were indorsed by the prisoner, but he submitted that that made no difference, and he referred to the case of Ber kitt, in Russell and Ryan, which was similar to the present, although perhaps not so strong against the prisoner. In that case a bill of exchange without indorsement was given by the prisoner, and it purported to be accepted by a party not in existence. The prosecutrix was convinced that she was only keeping it as a security, and could do nothing with it without being indorsed ; yet it was held that the intention was equally fraudulent. The Learned Counsel then called after Mr. Solomon's statement, a person named Fellingham, who was subjected to a searching examination by Mr. Phillips, who afterwards submitted that from the course which had been taken in this case it would be frivolous to remand the prisoner ; but he considered that the Magistrate was now authorised in detaining and committing him on another charge—namely, of obtaining the money on false pretences. He had told Mr. Solomon that Messrs. Fare brother were highly respectable, and he had obtained the acceptances on security of some mortgaged property left to him and his brother, which statements alone had induced the prosecutor to advance the money. The Learned Counsel, after reading Mr. Solomon's evidence, said that it appeared that there was no such person as Farebrother, and Fellingham was the only partner, and he had sworn that he knew nothing of the prisoner's property, and had never any money in his hands belonging to Jiggins. The whole story was untrue, it appeared from Fellingham's evidence, and was a false pretence to get the money. Mr. MINSHULL said that he was quite ready to commit the prisoner on the charge of obtaining money on false pretences. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said, after enter ing into a long detail of other bill transactions which be al leged took place between him, Mr. Solomon, and Messrs. Farebrother, that he did not tell the prosecutor that he had obtained the acceptances produced on the security of any mortgaged property. He had met Mr. Fellingham at a house he was in the habit of frequenting, and had never known him until about three months ago by any other name than that of Farebrother. If he had not been kept in prison he would have paid the bills long ago. Mr. Phillips said that Mr. Solomons had not kept him in prison, and would certainly ha ve b een very g l ad to have re ceived his money. The prisoner said if he were out of prison he might pay the money ; and being kept there he was deprived of the opportunity of doing so. Mr. Phillips (to the Magistrate)--y ou have seen the unwillingness Mr. Fellingham showed to give evidence, and the difficulty he had to be sworn ; I think, therefore, if be be now permitted to leave the office without any surety for his future appearance, the ends of justice may be defeated, and I would ask you to call upon him to find bail that he would appear on the trial of the prisoner as a witness for the Crown. Mr. Fellingham said he was acting under the advice of Counsel in refusing to be sworn, but he was quite willing to enter into his own recognizance to appear at the trial. Mr. M1N5111.71.1. said he was a very material witness, and it was evident that ho was a very unwilling one ; he would therefore call upon him to enter into his own recognizance for 50/., and find two sureties in :25/. each, that he would appear as a witness for the Crown when required. The prisoner's bail was then fixed at 1001. his own recog nizance, and two sureties in 50/. each and to give twenty four hours' notice of bail. The office was crowded during the investigation of the case, which occupied several hours.

TIMES.—The accounts from West India respecting the negro population are so tainted with party animosities, that it is difficult to collect from them such a body of facts as might afford the means of coming to a right judg ment upon the actual condition of affairs. A letter is given signed by the Rev. Mr. Knibb and two or three other Baptist missionaries, apparently not intended for publication, but casually got hold of, in which it is stated, that the planters were bent upon con tinujog slavery under another form, and, by holding out threats of compelling the - negroes 4, it their cottages and gr oun d s , to force them to work ou t such extremely low rates of wages as would keep them under the control of their masters. It may be presumed that the meaning of this is, that they would thus be led into debt with their masters by the supply of provisions and stores from the planters' shops, which indirectly might have the effect alluded to. The rate of wages said to be imposing upon the labourers is stated so low net as 3d. sterling per day, the calculation including deductions for the rents, said to be exorbitantly charged, of the negroes' houses and grounds. This statement, it is clear, must be received with great caution, as entirely opposed to all other esti mates and statements, which represent Is. 3d. currency per day as the general rate. It may, upon the whole, be assumed, that dissensions were rather settling down after all, for in Jamaica more angry feeling between masters and men has usually been found to subsist than in other ports of the West Indies. Papers and letters have been received from Caraccas to the Isth ultimo. It was stated to be probable that Gene ral O'Leary, now envoy from Venezuela to Rome, would be named to proceed to this country as commissioner for ar ranging with the bondholders on the part of that republic. The Government, it is mentioned, intended punctually to remit the sum allotted, say 80,000 dollars, in January next, as their proportion or account of interest on the Co lombian loans. H EltALD.—From Jamaica letters, which have been received to-day by the most respectable houses, complain that neither by day-work nor task -work can the negroes be induced to per form a day's work of full ten hours ; but this indication of idleness appears to have arisen rather out of a general desire to establish a higher rate of wages than that already proffered by the overseers of the majority of the estates. These circumstances have tended much to enhance the cost of making sugar, and at the same time retard the due cultivation of the new crops. An unpleasant feeling seems to exist on the part of the London merchants at not having received the letters brought by the Garrick New York packet-ship, some few only having been delivered ; and, as extensive purchases have been made of cotton at Liverpool, it is thought that the few have been favoured, particularly as passengers have arrived ; it certainly may be considered that the vessel which landed them would have been quite equal to have brought the letter-bags, which contain so much important intelligence. Money at present continues equally as easy as it has been during the past month or two ; but the reduction in the duty upon the importation of foreign corn, as it positively confirms the defection of the crops in the north of Great Britain and Ireland, as well as the Northern States of Europe, has created the double apprehension that money will not only suddenly become more scarce, but that the continental exchanges, which lately have been rather droop ing, will still incline further downwards. The business in the foreign exchanges has not been less limited than on the previous post day, but the quotations have by no means improved. On Paris they rule at 25f. 50c. to 25f. 724 c. ; on Amsterdam at 12 4 ; on Rotterdam at 12 41 ; and on Hamburg at 13 10e. We have not had much business in the British Funds to day ; but the favourabl e accounts from Persia, as detailed in the Constantinople correspondenc e of this journal, have given rather an improved character to the Consol Market, which, in consequence, has closed at the improved rate of 94 for Money and Account. POST.—The public funds have fluctuated but very little to-day in either Market. Upon the whole, however, there was certainly more firmness than we had occasion to notice in our report of yesterday, and this was owing in all probability to the later accounts received from Persia, which prove of a more satisfactory tenor than had been generally calculated upon. Purchases to as inconsiderable extent, viz., for about 3,0001. stock were again made for ac count of the Commissioners for Savings' Banks. Consols left off 94 for Money and for the 27th instant, and 94 for the January settlement ; th e Th ree per Cent. Reduced 93i to 3, the New Three-and-a -Half per Cent. Annuities at 101 i to 102, Bank Stock 203 to Exchequer Bills 665. to 68s. prem., and India Bonds at 625. to 645. prem. In the Foreign House Five per Cent Dutch Stock was quoted 1001 to g, Two -and-a-Half per Cent. ditto .54 to Brazilian 78 to I, Five per Cent. Portuguese 81 to Three per Cent. di tto 20i to Active Sp an i s h , w i th the overdue coupons, 17 to and Colombian 25 to From Jamaica we learn, as well from private commercial sources as from the papers, that no approach had yet been made towards a satisfactory arrangement between the late apprentices and the proprietors, with respect to wages, and the process of cultivation continued in consequence to be in a great measure suspended. Some discrepancies occur in the accounts received and published at Kingston, from the interior, but the Governor had, it appears, directed the stipendiary Magistrates to ascertain and report to him the actual state of things in their respective districts, and this will, no doubt, be eventually done, although consider able reluctance was manifested in the first instance by agents charged with the superintendenc e of estates in some parts of the island to furnish the informa tion demanded of them, and from which circum stance it is to be feared that matters are worse rather than better than they have been represented to be, as the, truth can hardly be withheld by the individuals appealed to, where there is anything of a fa vourable nature to communicate. It is suggested that the stipendiary magistrates might with greater propriety have sought the information in question through the medium of the custodes, as parties less interested, or at the mercy of the negroes. The Cornwall Chronicle mentions, that on several estates in St. James's parish, the labourers were doing very little to keep up their cultivation. On some they went to work in the morning pretty freely, but, before the day's work was half completed, they struck, saying they had done enough for the day. It is added, that they worked better a month previously, and that they now seemed to have got some new whim or other in their heads. The Falmouth Post states that disagreements were continually taking place between the planters and the labourers in the same neighbourhood, respecting the payment of wages, where no express contract had been entered into, and observes, that it is a remarkable fact, that in cases of dispute on this subject, brought in the parish before the justices of the peace, the unpaid magistrates had invariably given judgment against the labourers. Froth Demerara and the minor islands, the advices are of much the same complexion as those last received. The important question of the currency having been settled by the Go vernment here, a notification to that effect had been re ceiv cd from Lord Glenelg, but the particulars, as published in the London Gazette of the 2d of October, had still to be ascertained at Jamaica. Much dissatisfaction has been expressed by the estate owners and planter, at an order which had been received by the authorities it some of the smaller islands, to pre vent the negreases from working in the fields, which prac tice the t)overnors are attempting to put an end to. The numbers are, in proportion to the males, about one-third. and, in addition to the loss to the planter, the proposed measure tends to demoralise them, as idleness and dissipa tion must s in a majority of cases, prove the consequence.
